Working Rear Cam HDR+ GCAM

hello everyone,
just wanna share what i found in 4pda.
credits to sinykovo on 4pda lenovo p2 thread.
i think you need to enable camera2 api first
only the rear cam has hdr+ and no portrait mode

Good camera, thanks.

I urge others not to waste their time to download the app linked above. This is a very, very old version of GCAM and not the one that you think it is. For now, there's no GCAM that works with HDR+ enabled on the rear camera. So, save you bandwidth and don't download this piece of ****.

You might be right that it's an older version of GCAM, but surprisingly it actually took better photos than the GCAM app in the other thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/themes/stable-oneplus-5-camera-t3709983
Comparison shots attached. Thanks OP ?

GCam | POCO X2 | best and stable

As we all know the POCO X2 has one of the best sensor i.e. IMX686 for its main shooter but the jpg conversation algorithm of stock camera is not upto the mark. Stock cam images are slightly over saturated, Little bit warm in tint, and when you zoom in; the details of textures looks like oil painted and not that much accurate and sharp to the edges. Though its completely software dependant thing so can be improved.
Also front camera of POCO X2 is not upto the mark its having f2.2 aperture, due to which details and textures capturing is just average in selfies .
To enhance the camera performance of POCO X2 to get full advantage of IMX686 we can use GCam. As the GCam is modified application for few perticular devices it's hard to find the perfectly working gcam port for our device. (Though as per my observation on several popular smartphones, GCam ports works best on Nokia smartphones the condition is you should have to search a lot for perfect mode.)
For POCO X2 as per posted on Gcam Port Hub there are multiple working GCams available; but the problem is final image production from those modes are different, some are over sharpen, some are to soften, some looks too artificial, some are very good but poor in capturing details, some are good at low-light and some at daylight.
So as i tried gcam ports of almost all top developers on POCO X2; here are some of the versions that i found good in major aspects.
MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043-v2.apk
DMGC_7.2.018_ver.3.15.apk
HyperCam-RaizenA-10.apk
POCOX2_F1v9.6_6.2.030.apk
:
Also some users are using PixelCam_Plus_V2.0.apk and UltraCVM_v5.apk but i didn't find both of this that much good, might be I don't know the good settings for them.
For the 7.4.x version for POCO X2 i tried NGCam_7.4.104-v1.0_gcam.apk which is working fine and images of it are fine.
So if anyone find any other better GCam modes that are working good on POCO X2 then please share it in this thread. Also can suggest best settings, libs and .XMLs here.

Google Camera 8.1 for Redmi Note 9

Hello guys, today I bring you the latest version of Gcam for Redmi Note 9. Although MediaTek Helio G85 isn't the best processor to run Gcam, I could find a version created by BSG that works very well. All three back lenses are working fine, you can make a different config for each lens.
Working: Portrait Mode, Panorama, Photosphere, Night Mode, Slow Motion, HDR+ and all lenses.
Not working: Astrophotography (doesn't crash, but the picture is terrible) and Time Lapse.

Samsung S20 FE 5G tele photo lens

Dear all,
I just got a Samsung S20 FE 5G (internally SM-G781B/DS) which I bougt mainly because I wanted a smartphone with SD Card an a telephoto lens.
After some test shots I'm quite confused about when it uses the tele lens and when it "zooms" in software.
When I switch to 3x it images often are blurry and exif data says Digital zoom: 3.0x
Sometimes they look ok.
In both cases image dimensions are 4032x3024 pixels while aperture is either f/1,8 (software) oer f/2,4 (hardware). As I read from the specs, the resolution of tele camera should be lower.
So it looks like it is not reliable if it does use software or hardware zoom and always uses some "pixel invention".
I tried to use Open Camera and Gcam, but the can't find tele camera.
Does anybody know why this happens and if there is a way to definitely use tele lens with it's real solution?

Hi,
This phone "decides" when to actually use telephoto depending on distance from the object and amount of light it has.
Basically It mostly won't use telephoto for objects 1meter closer and if you're taking photos in night.
Try taking photo of something far, like a landscape in the day, after 3x zoom it should switch to telephoto, you can test it by covering the lens with your finger.

It has telephoto camera, aka 3 times zoomed in in comparison to main camera hence zoom camera. Btw no one said it does have hardware zoom.
I noticed worse quality photos after last update and also that 3x varies between the cropped main camera or telephoto camera. Maybe depends on the light conditions.
